I was listening to a radio talk show today and the question of genetics or environment came up. The guest (who of course was shilling a book) said he thought neither. It's about expectations.
From the time we are little if we are expected to fail we will. (environment?) If we are expected to do do well, help out around the house, go to school get good grades etc. the chances are better we will.
I think as we get older what is the bar that we set for ourselves? What are our own expectaions for ourselves? Instead of looking for causes, reasons, the whys and why nots, being accountable for our own choices and having goals and expectations (dreams if u will) for ourselves have more influence that whether it is nature or nurture. Just my thoughts.
Stacy's husband I wish you all the best. It's not easy to come out of the hell we put ourselves in. Please keep putting one foot in front of the other on the right path. You are so worth it. YOU!
In my prayers,
Jan
